CAP Theorem's Consistency Model
In this lesson, we will explore the consistency model that is used by the CAP theorem.
In the previous lesson, we saw the four fundamental consistency models. When explaining the CAP theorem, we encountered the term consistency. Let’s explore that now.
Consistency model used by the CAP theorem
The “C” property in the CAP theorem refers to the linearizability model we previously described. This means it’s impossible to build a system that will be available during a network partition while also being linearizable.
In fact, there is ...
